Background
On October 30, 2020, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues in the case.
Court’s Order
The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party. The Clerk of Court was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The parties could apply to reopen the case within 30 days, but the application had to show good cause for keeping the case open in light of their settlement. The court stated that a request filed after 30 days, or without a showing of good cause, could be denied solely on that basis.
The order also stated that, if the parties wanted the court to retain jurisdiction—that is, authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, they had to submit the agreement and request an order expressly retaining that authority within the same 30-day period.
Disposition
Judge Valerie Caproni dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs to either party, terminated the open motions, and closed the case, subject to the stated 30-day procedures for reopening or retaining jurisdiction to enforce the settlement.
